cupid battle

, Poured it into a plastic drinking cup in the cafeteria, picked out the cashew nuts and macadamia nuts and piled them in front of him, and left the almonds and peanuts for me: "This is different."

This is of course different, "she" is so important, Xiaobai is willing to connect with "her" in people's topics.Maybe he wished to be connected with "her" for many years, and all the invitations he received in the second half of his life would say "Mr.

I'm going to vomit.

I said: "How long can people talk about you and me, half a day? They have been talking quietly. Unless you admit it yourself, no one will take it seriously. I don't have a credit line at all. I lie, I spread rumors, and I have long been credited. Bankrupt, they won't believe anything that comes out of my mouth, anything that comes out of my mouth is me grandstanding, what are you afraid of?"

Xiao Bai pursed his lips and remained silent.

I turned the swivel chair, tapped my fingers on the keyboard, and suddenly twisted the screen in front of him: "Satisfied?"

I deleted all posts about me and him on AllSa gossip.From "Why are angels always blind???" to "Xiaobai and the two or three things that cannot be said..." When those idiots who are keen on browsing the AllSa gossip website visit the page after eating, they will find that AllSa is like an earthquake However, the less idiots among the idiots will realize that the manager behind AllSa can only be one of Xiaobai and me.Given that he would rather sacrifice himself than forcibly deprive everyone of their entertainment, it would just be me.

Xiaobai stood up, picked up the plate again, and said: "I care about what others say about me and you, but no, it's not because I feel ashamed to be talked about with you. I... care about what others think of me, sometimes too much It's like you don't care what other people think of you. It's impossible for us to change this side of ourselves, and there may be conflicts because of this, but these conflicts will not affect our...friendship."

He took the plate with one hand and pushed the door to go out.Typical of his style, he doesn't like arguing with others, so avoid when there are conflicts, just separate and calm down.

It wasn't until Xiaobai closed the door of my office that I realized that my hands were shaking.

Xiaobai would walk away, he must have thought it was anger.But I'm not, it's not anger, it's...fear?

I don't know what's wrong with me.Ever since I started the plan against Xiaobai and the unknown woman, I don't know what happened to me.

I did nothing this afternoon, just watched a soap opera on the screen, but didn't catch a single line.

Two hours later, the computer of the AllSa special system rang the internal mail reminder tone, and Xiaobai and I chatted through the internal mail during work hours.

In the first letter, he casually asked me what I would like to eat tonight, as if nothing had happened between us.The second and third letters are web links. Who can believe that a network security expert like Xiaobai still likes furry kittens, puppies, and rabbits? Send me and share with me.

I replied to the first letter: whatever.The second letter and the third letter: boring.

So he gave up cats, dogs, and rabbits and sent me a short video of a dolphin cub, a penguin cub, a clouded leopard cub.

When it was time to get off work today, my door was knocked ahead of time, and he omitted the compulsory overtime work for half an hour after get off work every day.

I lay in a chair, looking at the ceiling, with my legs straight, the heels of my shoes resting on the edge of the table.Xiaobai was standing in front of my desk, I couldn't see him, but listening to his breathing, he saw the egg sandwiches and yogurt thrown into the trash can intact.I ate nuts.

He said, "Let's go, we still have to go shopping."

He bought ground meat, softer ciabatta bread, vegetables, milk, and tomato paste. When he bought ground meat and ciabatta bread, I knew that Xiaobai was going to make American-style meatloaf.

Xiaobai's American-style meatloaf.I'm like Pavlov's dog, I can drool when he buys materials.

You can get American-style meatloaf in thousands of places, each with its own recipe, but Xiaobai's is the best I've ever tasted.The next day I can’t finish eating, sandwiched in bread to make American meatloaf sandwiches, Xiaobai can use American meatloaf sandwiches as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me on most issues, but I can’t let him know the American meatloaf he makes How attractive is the pie--because his American-style meatloaf is too precious, I can't let him know how precious his American-style meatloaf is, lest he really blackmail me with American-style meatloaf one day.

If you can still follow my logic.

This phase of Cupid's grand battle plan is that I watch him closely, he cooks, and I lean against the kitchen wall to watch.

I never knew that bread was needed to make meatloaf. He tore up slices of bread, soaked them in hot milk until softened, and rolled up his shirt sleeves to wash the morning dishes in the spare time between soaking bread: "I still can't believe it, you didn't Wash the dishes and do those things."

I said, "In other words, if you'd done the dishes, it wouldn't have happened."

He smiled and shook his head to break up the pile of bread that had been soaked in milk.

I suddenly said, "What kind of woman do you like?"

He pureed the loaf of bread in milk, gestured to the cupboard with his chin.I opened the cupboard above his head, counted to the third bowl and handed it to him according to his eyes.In another bowl, he mixed minced vegetables and ground meat, beat eggs, and put spice powder: "Didn't you sum up a set of standards a long time ago?"

I said "hacker, think of yourself as the center of the universe, paranoid, do whatever it takes to get what you want," and I folded my arms and said, "This is my version, and I want your version."

He smiled and looked up at me from the bowl: "Hackers can stay and excel in their own field; have the courage to refuse to obey the social standards set by the masses and authorities, and live by their own set of standards; humor, although this kind of humor It's...unique, but I like it; plays an instrument; has good taste; and a lot more than that."

People who are blinded by love are so nasty. If the unknown woman could fit [-]% of the description, Xiaobai would have introduced her to me a long time ago.I have checked all the female hackers who can meet my "outstanding" standard, and none of them would have sex with Xiaobai. I should have known that his soft and gentle nature made his "outstanding" standard surprisingly low. Maybe he fell in love with The person who just knew how to make a web page was proud and gratified.

As for "not conforming to social rules", dyed hair color?Humor, Xiaobai has no sense of humor at all.He can play musical instruments, and whistles are musical instruments in his opinion.

The expression on my face was too sarcasm, Xiaobai preheated the oven, piled the meatloaf into cubes, and put them on the baking tray: "Stop."

I frowned: "What."

He stirred brown sugar and ketchup, spread a layer on the pile of raw meatloaf, stooped to send the baking sheet into the oven, and put it on the water tray: "I know, you are viciously attacking in your mind right now. My crush."

I covered my mouth and pretended to be shocked: "Wow, you want me to say it out loud in front of you? This is too cruel, I thought she was your crush?"

I viciously attacked his favorite, but Xiaobai was not angry. He looked at me very interestingly, checked his watch, and said, "One hour, I hope that when I slice the meatloaf and stuff it into your belly, your Stomach satisfied, mouth and brain quiet. Do you want to get the beer out first?"

I turned on the TV, opened the can, and put my feet on the coffee table.Not long after, Xiaobai washed his hands, rolled up his shirt sleeves, sat next to me, took a can of beer, and looked back at the screen with me.

The sounds of the soap opera are hypnotic, the oven is dutifully at work in the open kitchen, the dishes are being washed to dry on a rack, and the beer is bubbling.An hour later, Xiaobai brought out the meatloaf, cut a small piece for me to try it out, let it cool for 10 minutes, cut it into thick slices, and served me another portion.

We sat on the sofa, Xiaobai watched the soap opera intently for a while, and commented: "You are not interested in ordinary people, but you are interested in things that ordinary people like."

Meatloaf: "Ordinary people hide what they really think, but what they like reveals what they really think."

Xiaobai stated my words concisely: "Ordinary people want to hide how vulgar they are, but the TV series they like completely expose how vulgar they are?"

This statement is too gentle, I looked at the screen: "The TV series they like reveal how stupid they are, selfish, vicious, indifferent, worshiping money, Mu Qiang—yes, they can also be counted as vulgar."

"You study humans just to prove your conclusion that 'humans are hateful'." He nodded: "Very well, your self-hatred is exactly what I expected of you."

"You suggest I skip studying humans and jump straight to the conclusion that 'humans are hateful'?"

He tried to hold back a laugh, but couldn't.We can laugh about the worst things to laugh about, like my self-hatred.Xiaobai's smile hadn't faded, he changed the subject, and said, "You really...deleted all the topics about us on AllSaNest?"

"If you mean the post you're following," I didn't even look at him, and changed the channel with the remote control: "No."

Of course I know which thread he visited, I set up an alert, and every time he enters AllSaNest gossip, I get a briefing on which topics he visits and how long he stays there.

Xiaobai blushed and defended in a low voice: "That post was about our friendship."

I tediously paused to change the channel and said, "Obviously, the title is 'He's an asshole and my best friend'. You said it yourself two years ago?"

"You really are an asshole," he said matter-of-factly.

I'm also really his best friend, not just a nodding acquaintance,
